Photo Friday: Hands

M's Hands
Her nails are short because she bit them until recently. The ring on her right hand is her grandmother's ring. She died a few years ago. The ring on her left hand is actually two rings: The largest is our ring from our commitment ceremony in 1999. It's a custom-made leaf motif. The jewler liked the design so much, she now sells them, but ours was the first. The second ring is a thin, cheap band we bought for our legal wedding. I was in nursing school and we were poor. We promised ourselves we'd have diamonds someday. Now we're going to have a baby. Maybe diamonds for our fiftieth.

Sacha's Hands

These are my hands. I probably put on a hundred pairs of blue gloves a week.
